Mr. Speaker, our government continues to implement Canada's economic action plan to help combat the effects of the global recession.
Infrastructure projects across the country are up and running, and 4,000 have begun in the first six months of our 24-month plan.
We have reduced taxes on families and businesses and implemented measures such as the home renovation tax credit and the first time home buyers' tax credit. We are helping the unemployed by extending EI benefits, making it easier to qualify and expanding EI training programs. All these measures and programs are to help steer Canada through the global recession. This is what Canadians want and expect.
What they do not want is constant mudslinging, constant threats of an election and massive new spending that can only be paid for through tax hikes. These are the priorities of the Liberal leader and the Liberal Party.
We are putting the country first, and Canadians can count on us to get the job done.
